Chicago Shopping | Mini Haul

Hi lovely reader! Yesterday I shared my "Chicago Photo Diary" with you and today I wanted to share some of the things I purchased while in the city with a mini haul! 

One of the first things that I purchased was from Sephora and it is this "fresh cream" rollerball by philosophy.  It smells absolutely delicious, like cupcakes and frosting at a sweet soiree. It is by far     one of my favorite scents that I have owned and I will definitely be purchasing a bottle when my rollerball runs out!

I love this t-shirt so much! I purchased it from the Disney Store and think it is absolutely perfect. The black bands around the neck and sleeves sold me for sure. The only downside to it was that it was a large, but I think with a careful wash, it might shrink a bit and be perfect with some skinny jeans, classic reeboks, and a scrunchie. 

Speaking of scrunchies, I purchased these two from Topshop. I love the prints because I think that they will go with a lot. They also have the wiring in the bow bit so that you can adjust them to lay how you like. 

I have been really into marbled things lately so I was excited when I found these double sided earrings at Nordstrom. The marbled ball goes in the front and then the gold cubes in the back. I like that they are versatile too, if your hair is down you don't really see the backs as much but with an updo, both sides show and make for a cool look.

Last but not lease, I purchased these Steve Madden "Purfect Flats" from Nordstrom Rack. I was drawn to these because the neutral and black color will go well with most of my closet and also because I see these as being able to be worn with jean shorts and a tshirt, as well as a nice summer dress.

So there are some of my favorite purchases from my time in Chicago, where do you like to shop in the city? Xx

Pamper Present Packing | Blogmas

Hi lovely reader! Can you believe that there's only eight days until Christmas?!? I could not be more excited, the past couple of days have been quite festive. I've been wrapping presents, decorating Christmas trees, hanging garland, and there's still more to be done!

I wanted to share a little gift idea with you today for someone who would enjoy pampering and a cozy night in. All of the items in the gift bag were purchased at TJ Maxx! I haven't really mentioned it before but I am a massive fan of TJ Maxx and probably go there at least once every 1-2 weeks to see what they've got. You can find some great brands in everything from shoes, to bags, to clothes, they have even home-ware. I personally always have a look through the shoes and clothes. (No, this post is not sponsored by them, just sharing, because sharing is caring)

First, I bought this Ralph Lauren Pajama Set. I really like these pjs because they're quite classic looking. They are also very soft and good quality.

Next a pair of super soft cozy socks. Perfect for lounging around in or sitting by the fire whilst sipping hot chocolate and watching a Christmas film. 

Finally, a delicious smelling shampoo/shower gel/bubble bath from philosophy. Even though it isn't a Christmas scent, I think it's acceptable, it's pink and sweet!

Also, picked up this pretty bag from TJ Maxx to put all the gifts in. 

More presents!

What gift ideas do you love? Xx
